Wow... Holy crap! I'm in shock! This is how you play—taking Dragon Utopia /*planning*/ on 113; I wonder if I'll ever be able to think of such audacity even in offline? ...
They really impressed me, honestly. 7 days never even crossed my mind. I thought the result would be around two weeks. Truly surgical precision... After this, Heroes started to seem very close to exact sciences: mathematics, for example.
Offline is a cool thing; it's a pity that people don't play it at all :(. But it allows you to look at your favorite HOMM from a completely different perspective :). Of course, there are things like the hero-digger, for example, and using this program creates a staggering gap in capabilities compared to beginners. Of course, knowing that any unoccupied hero can be dug up in the tavern is already basic knowledge, while applying what to do and when is skill; the hero-digger is just a mechanical simplification of the inevitable, a gadget that saves real time.
In terms of technical knowledge, offline is much richer than online. And every tournament is original in its own way.
This is my second off tournament; for some reason, I thought I'd have a much better result, turns out I was wrong... ))) Such a noob... really... My mindset needs to change, and I need to thoughtfully read winners' Walkthroughs and test them—which is a pain, of course, but it's worth it if you want a more or less decent result.
And the Super_Most_Great_Master_Sensei_Messiah_Allah-Krishna_Medstrax all in one person in Heroes-III has completely disappeared from the forum since 20.03.2010. Such a pity. Probably became ashamed of the nonsense he wrote earlier.
(I wonder, honestly, why none of the offline players took his ridiculous bet of 200 bucks on his campaign by Maxuta, which he pushed into every single available crack. (To be honest, I wonder about myself why I didn't take it; 200 bucks wouldn't exactly be spare change for me, the only condition was to complete it, and how long it took didn't matter. I guess I chickened out, thought I lacked offline experience))
Anyway, a newbie in short, what can I say, he's lucky he didn't run into the big shots. In some way, his behavior reminded me of dragon20000 :D.
Salute to everyone. Dirty, thanks for organizing and my congratulations! :) Antoshka described it virtuously, pity he just didn't execute it.
Study, study, and study again (c) Volodka :)
And as for the quorum, we need to think about how to attract people. Off is kind of dying out completely. This isn't right... Very few people...
